MeSH definition : Glycosphingolipids which contain as their polar head group a trisaccharide (galactose-galactose-glucose)
moiety bound in glycosidic linkage to the hydroxyl group of ceramide. Their accumulation
in tissue, due to a defect in ceramide trihexosidase, is the cause of angiokeratoma
corporis diffusum (FABRY DISEASE).;
